I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

Whole race in a nut shell: Susan Collins is a product of the ownership class and a member of the ownership class focused on advancing ownership class interests and Troy Jackson is a product of the working class and a member of the working class eager to advance working class interests. #MEpolitics

Wild pair of paragraphs in Press Herald's story on Susan Collins and Troy Jackson's roots in Aroostook County. Who knew that being a worker and hiring workers were the same thing! (Lots of ownership class folks think this way, actually.) #MEpolitics

Press Herald article: Each of their families has played a part in the lumber industry, a pillar of the county’s economy — Jackson’s as loggers, Collins’ as owners of a lumberyard. “Certainly you could, in effect, say we’re both from a family of loggers,” Sam Collins, 68, the senator’s younger brother and president of S. W. Collins Co., said in his office in Caribou, referring to a period when the company employed loggers.

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

Where fiber history meets Pride. This is a large piece (10x28') of one of the two original 30x60' pride flags, the only known surviving section of either. They were designed, hand dyed and sewn by a community of queer artists. The colors are slightly different from most rainbow flags today.

Long-Lost Fragment of First Rainbow Pride Flag Resurfaces After Four Decades

The brilliantly colored banner—now on view in San Francisco—flew on "Gay Freedom Day" in 1978

Has anyone been able to come up with some kind of "individual climate loss/adaptation" calculator. I imagine something like the (cursed!) carbon footprint calculator but instead of calculating carbon usage, it calculates your personal climate change-related costs?

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

KEY POINTS • The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.

Since this is growing some legs, it’s probably a good time to point out that you have a food bank near you, and it’s better to donate money than canned goods- they can stretch your dollar way further than you can. And they always need volunteers, for those of us who have more time than money.

Maybe reporters and editors can now share their stories about getting screamed at by Collins & her team Christ, she told me "you're the one who writes all those mean things about me" back in 2010 when I wrote on a gay blog No one is more thin-skinned than Collins

The WP revealed that Jackson yelled sometimes. I just can't take this seriously as some scandal when Troy's opponent voted for someone who is destroying public health in this country and won't restrain ICE, which killed a Mainer last week, or stop the war in Iran. #mepolitics

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Taylor Farms, which supplies major fast food and grocery chains, was identified as the possible source of the cyclosporiasis outbreak Thursday.

Giant Ichneumonid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Megarhyssa spp.) are large parasitoid wasps found in conifer forests of North America. Females use their long ovipositors to lay eggs in the burrows of wood-boring horntail wasp larvae. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan, 13 Jul 2026.

This is why we all need feminism. If we took misogyny and violence against women seriously, if it was considered disqualifying and not something we should overlook to protect men's future or current careers, this wouldn't have happened.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
